set a custom font for a button text in Xamarin Android

I have a button and I want to set a custom font to the text but I have trouble doing that.

The code is the following :

In .xml file :

<Button
        android:id="@+id/button"
        style="@style/ButtonStyle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        tools:text="Sample Text"/>

and in styles.xml

<style name="ButtonStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless">
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/button_text_size</item>
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/button_background</item>
        <item name="android:textAppearanceButton">@style/ButtonTextStyle</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">?android:textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
    </style>

<style name="ButtonTextStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
        <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/my_custom_font</item>
    </style>

Instead of of creating a different style fontFamily should be used in the button style and the code should look like this.

<style name="ButtonStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless">
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/button_text_size</item>
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/button_background</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/my_custom_font</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">?android:textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
</style>
